Global Estimate of Human Brucellosis Incidence.

Brucellosis is a major public health concern worldwide, especially for persons living in resource-limited settings. Historically, an evidence-based estimate of the global annual incidence of human cases has been elusive. We used international public health data to fill this information gap through application of risk metrics to worldwide and regional at-risk populations.

If You're Not Confused, You're Not Paying Attention: Is Not Brucella.

Bacteria of the genus Brucella are facultative intracellular parasites that cause brucellosis, a severe animal and human disease. Recently, a group of taxonomists merged the brucellae with the primarily free-living, phylogenetically related spp. in the genus Brucella.

Intratracheal inoculation results in Brucella-associated reproductive disease in male mouse and guinea pig models of infection.

species are considered a significant cause of reproductive pathology in male and female animals. Importantly, can induce reproductive disease in humans. Reproductive pathogenesis and evaluation of newly developed countermeasures against brucellosis studies have traditionally utilized female animal models.

Primary and memory immune responses against rough are less robust compared to smooth and following intratracheal infection in mice.

is the cause of canine brucellosis, a globally distributed, zoonotic pathogen which primarily causes disease in dogs. is unique amongst the zoonotic spp. with its rough lipopolysaccharide, a trait typically associated with attenuation in gram-negative bacteria.
